What exactly is your first argument? That pushing through bad updates unpolled is justified because it has a precedent? Jagex also released the EoC before. We don't make silly mistakes just because we've made them before.

Now, as for the KKK robes, noose wands, etc. Obviously that shit is detestable, but it's so flagrantly, obviously detestable in such an absurd way that it's pretty obvious it's just trolling. It's like when 4chan said "I bet if we say 'it's okay to be white,' people will get fucking pissed" and then, in fact, people got fucking pissed -- you're not putting the bigots in their place, you're playing into their satire of you. Do you seriously think people equipping desert robes and running around with these absurd looking hunter nooses were legitimately homosexual-hating bigots, furious at a rainbow clothing piece? Or do you think they were a bunch of dumbass kids who were trolling precisely because they knew it'd get a rise out of people like yourself?

It seems to me you're playing into their hand. Pretending you can't tell it was just stupid trolling, so you can point at it and say, "See, forcing content without polling is justified as long as it's Pride related, because bigots exist." Forcing virtually any content through without polling is justified.
